For The Love of History...

"Those that don't know history are destined to repeat it." -Edmund Burke

History is our opportunity to learn from the past to improve our future. However, we must know and understand the past!

So many times, people say they don't have an interest in history. But, once they hear the stories and the relevance, something is awakened. They want to know more.

The goal of For The Love of History is to share knowledge of history and to inspire others, of all ages, to learn more. We can have a better tomorrow by learning from our past!

150th Anniversary of the American Civil War, 1861-1865

2011 will mark the anniversary of the beginning of the American Civil War. It is a great chance to remember, honor and learn. Bill Foley is a life long student of the Civil War. Let Bill Foley be your guide!

So, you thought Bill only knew about music? He actually has another passion -The American Civil War. As a pre-teen, he spent summers in York with his uncles, who introduced him to Gettysburg. In fact, one of Bill's first jobs as a teenager was working at the Gettysburg Visitor Center. Thanks to his Uncle George!

As a full time musician, Bill has the opportunity to travel the country visiting historic sites. His presentations bring this experience and knowledge to you.

The interest didn't end there! Bill and his wife, Cresha, were married in Gettysburg in a Victorian style ceremony at the Dobbin House!

One of Bill's greatest joys is sharing his love of Gettysburg with others. It's an addiction he likes to pass on!
